I was just wanting to know. If you have a new queen and she is boxed for a week, inside the hive and doesn't get out of the box should you release her. Second if you do release her, on top of the frames, and she flies off does she ever return to the hive?
My Russian Queen did just that I release her on the top of the hive frames and she litt off. I have not seen her since. I guess I need to reinspect the hive in couple of days and see if she has returned. No local evidence of swarming either. What do you guys think?
